Description
The standard rail-to-post joint for a yellow GRP guard rail, ready drilled. This moulded yellow GRP short tee sits on top of a 50mm GRP post and carries the top rail straight through at 90 degrees. It also joins the end post of a run to the knee rail. It comes pre-drilled with its stainless M6 bolts and rivet nuts, so it fits with a hex key. The price shown is for one tee, with a minimum order of 5.
Why choose it
Ready to fit. Holes drilled, bolts and rivet nuts in the box.
Square and stiff. A full barrel round the rail and a deep socket on the post.
No rust, no hot work. Moulded GRP, fixed cold with stainless fixings.
High visibility. Safety yellow all the way through, so scratches do not show grey.
Where it is used
Top rails and knee rails on straight runs of yellow GRP handrail at water and wastewater treatment works, chemical plants, rail depots, food factories and electrical sites.

Load tested system
The 50mm GRP tube handrail system these parts belong to has been load tested by an independent UK laboratory as a straight two-rail balustrade, 1100mm high with a mid rail at 550mm and posts at 1000mm centres. It carried 0.4 kN/m, above the 0.36 kN/m general duty load for industrial handrails in BS 4592-0.
Pre-drilled, bolts included
This is the drilled version: the fixing holes are already made and it comes with the stainless M6 fixings it needs, so it goes straight onto the tube. An undrilled short tee is also available if you prefer to drill on site.
Joining two rail lengths?
Do not use a short tee to join lengths of rail. Use an internal joint between posts, or a long tee over a post.

Fitting
Fix the post bases first and cut the posts to height. Push the tee onto the top of the post and slide the rail through the barrel. Fit the rivet nuts into the drilled holes, pass the M6 bolts through from the other side and tighten with a hex key.
Care
Wash down with water and mild detergent. Check the bolts once a year and after any impact. GRP needs no painting.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one tee?
Yes, one tee with its bolts and rivet nuts. The minimum order is 5.
Do I need to drill anything?
No. The tee is pre-drilled. If the post or rail is not yet drilled, drill through the tube using the tee's holes as a guide.
Will it fit steel scaffold tube?
No. It is sized for 50mm GRP handrail tube. Steel 48.3mm tube needs key clamp fittings.
